    I noticed how nice and tactile my new steering wheel felt when the car was new compared to the one I traded it. It was shiney and smooth.

    I would like to look after this one a Bit more than a wipe with a damp cloth so can anyone recommend something to use on it regularly?

    Ideally I would like something I could also use on my part leather seats.

    Thanks

    Dr Leather wipes.
    They are fantastic.
    Its what I use for everything leather in the cars these days.
    Also used it on my sofa.

    They smell like leather, clean and condition all in one and take no time at all.

    Never tried them on a gimp mask, maybe I could lend you a couple wipes so you could sproose up your mask

    I used them on your seats and steering wheel when I detailed the car so if you can remeber how they looked and fealt and smealt then thats how good they are.

    I wont use anything else now. I have tried many cleaners and conditioners.

    Cheers Ian, it's been a while since anybody "spruced up my mask"... I think it's illegal in Lanarkshire.

    Certainly did the trick on my car, so I must get some. I have other leather wipes, but these have the "King of Shine" seal of approval!
